5. Polycystic Cysts
One common ailment among women is polycystic ovarian syndrome. While there is no known cause for this condition, it is often the result of small cysts building upon the ovaries, which can cause hormonal imbalances. However, there are some women who develop polycystic ovarian syndrome and do not have any cysts on their ovaries at all. Some of the symptoms of this condition include abnormal hair growth, obesity, irregular periods, cardiovascular disease, and infertility.
In addition, if you develop polycystic cysts on the ovaries it can increase your risk of developing breast cancer or uterine cancer. These types of cysts need to be treated by a doctor and you may be required to go on a special diet in order to help alleviate some of the symptoms that are associated with the polycystic ovarian syndrome. Your doctor will be able to help you come up with a plan to treat the polycystic ovarian syndrome.
